I was wondering since I'm trying to figure out an equivalent loss coefficient for a manifold that has a specific geometry. I have several area sections and would like to know if I can just add up the resulting loss coefficients from one section to the other.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Go for an existing one and match it to your pressure/flow requirements. Look for compressor/turbine maps information, and start from there. Designing/manufacturing a new one will result in a daunting task and a very dangerous one, as the rotational speeds on those things are high enough to make...
